Chris Benchetler

USA

Often copied but never replicated, Chris Benchetler’s unmatched ability to scope terrain, slay lines and send huge airs make him a master of powder skiing.

Whether connecting countless pillows in Japan, buttering slashes on snow waves or sending fluid 720s off behemoth step downs in Mammoth, Chris’s skiing is the envy of all skiers. A history in park skiing and an addiction to shredding powder have shaped him into one of the most progressive backcountry skiers of the decade.
